Michael J. Zehetbauer, Chairman, NanoSPD2, born in 1951 in Austria. Since 1997 he is Professor at the Institute of Materials Physics, University of Vienna, and Head of the Section "Nanocrystalline Materials." From the late 1980's he has been author of several fundamental papers on large strain work hardening of metals establishing stages IV and V of plastic deformation. His main scientific fields are experimental investigations and modeling of strengthening processes in metals and polymers, with special emphasis on the conditions under which nanostructures are formed during plastic deformation...
